Sorority Rush is over at Nebraska (as of last Friday).

From what i"ve heard, the number of girls going through rush was around 525 ~550. About 410 got and accepted bids, and only 6 girls that went through all the rounds did not get a bid. So that's almost an 80% placement rate!

From what I've heard, Nebraska did something where quota was set for individually for each house. Alpha Phi had a quota of 21, while other chapters had quota as high as 50.

I don't particulalry believe this however. Nebraska does make use of a "ceiling" and chapters are only allowed to reach the ceiling. Regardless of what quota was, chapters could only have total numbers that reach the ceiling.

For example, in the past Alpha Phi has only been allowed to take 35 or 38 girls despite the fact quota might have been 52 or 46.

As explained to me by a girl that I normally trust - it appears that the quota number was simply the number of girls a house could take to reach their maximum. So it just seems to be a matter of changing the vocabularly of rush...or this girl just being dumb.

Congratulations! Do you know how the other chapters did as well? :)

PReference Night at EKU:


We invited back 26 ladies, and 23 accepted!!!!! I was very very impressed with the PNM's at both parties tonight. We only need 10 spaces to fill to be at total of 70.


Unforunately our greek advisor STILL has not determined quota...........but again let's not open that wound.


We are expecting to get quota and make total.

I don't but I'll probably find out at our AB meeting on Sunday. I'm sure most of the chapters got quota or very close to.

I know 6 of 13 made quota, and 3 or so got very close. bluefish81 might know more details as she actually helps out with her chapter there.

I've been trying to find out with limited success as of yet. However, I have an ISU Greek Alumni Alliance meeting Saturday morning and the VPs of Recruitment from IFC and CPC will be there.
I will definetely find out the other five chapters who made quota and will post that info Saturday afternoon. I'm also hoping to get a ballpark figure on how the other six chapters who did not make quota did, since one of the big initiatives of our group was to get more women participating in Recruitment.

Congratulations to both chapters! That's awesome!

Congratulations on an awesome return rate!!:) Best wishes toward getting quota (when it's established) and making total.

I heard that quota was lowered at the last minute - for everyone to 21. Alpha Phi took 21 and 4 quota additions!

Eastern Kentucky University:

Kappa Alpha Theta now has 15 outstanding new members and is now one of two chapters at or over total of 70.

Quota was 15. Everyone made quota except for one chapter. I dont know specific numbers on those chapters though.
